Katawa Shoujo

IIRC, this depends on whether you chose to follow Emi or talk to her mother.

I sincerely thank the developers of this game and good luck to them. Website is back up and only game torrent links are left. This game is one of the best cc licensed games.

I'm currently missing 3 scenes and 2 CGs.
In Act 1, what's the scene that's between "Home Field Advantage" and "No Recovery".
I'm also missing the scene in Hanako's route that's between "Faraway Presence" and "Cut Petals" (Act 4).
The last one I'm missing is in Rin's route, between "BADAAN!" and "The Edge of the World" (Act 3).

I'm missing one of Hanako's CG, which is probably from the scene that I'm missing... as well, the very last CG in the Gallery, after the miscellaneous items CG.

Edit: Got all of Hanako's stuff.

This one would happen if you go for Shizune and choose to race Emi.



Choose that you want to be like Rin instead of wanting to be like Emi, IIRC.



You'll get this for 100% completion.

Sweet deal. Thanks. +rep

Edit: 100% complete now. Damn that was good.

K got all the endings and 100%.

Just finished the game for the first time and went for Hanako...what an ending; so pretty and cute :)

I couldn't help myself and had the feeling to make a review for Katawa Shoujo.

*Please note that there will be spoilers below and everything written here is my opinion on the game only.


[size=20]Story: 6/10[/h]

Act 1 is mostly about Hisao adjusting to his new life and making new friends at this new school. It expands through the week of the School Festival and by the end of the week, you will probably already be on one of the girl's routes. I started with Shizune and found her route nice and sweet. The problem was that the more routes I completed, the more they all seemed really similar.

I felt that in every single route, this always happened:

-Hisao didn't understand the girl well enough.

-The girl didn't let Hisao get too emotionally close to her.

-Hisao realizes why and fixes the problem.

This felt really repetitive in the game, or at least for me it did.


I also wished they had gone deeper in some of the girls' past. For example in Hanako's route:

Overall I enjoyed the plot of every route. Just hoped they had gone deeper into the story and not let the game feel so repetitive.

[size=20]Graphics: 7/10[/h]

I enjoyed the CG. Though at time they might be a little weird looking. So they were a hit and miss for me.

[size=20]Cinema: 9/10[/h]

Now what I really thought was nice, was how the short clips in the 'Cinema' looked.

They were really nice made and colorful. I felt as they really brought the characters to life.

Another one at the end would have been really amazing. Though I guess that's asking for a little too much.

[size=20]Ero: 3/10[/h]

They were full of love and tender, but honestly.... I would just skip them. You're not missing much. Except for Hanako's sexy legs and ass, Emi's weird "excited" face, and of course Hisao going "hnnnnng!" all the time. Yup not much.

[size=20]Music: 7/10[/h]

There were some memorable soundtracks in there. Also I felt like they really went along with the story. Each song I hear reminds me a different scene with each one of the girls which is really nice. One or two more would have been better though. Nothing much else to say.

[size=20]Characters: 9/10[/h]

I loved all of the characters. They each had their own unique personalities and were very interesting in their own very way.

-Lily with her elegance and kindness.
-Shizune with her bossiness and competitiveness side.
-Emi with her cute pig tail look.
-Rin being.... Rin.
-Hanako..... hnnnngggg!!!

Overall the game is a 7/10 for me. This game will always be one of the best in my opinion though. When you wait for something for so long and then finally receive it.... how can you just not love it?

Fandom snares people. Knowledge protects.

may i ask what health issues you have exactly?

Despite my resistance (I avoid fandoms and trends), I've played this for the first time. I chose the choices that came naturally to me, and ended with Emi's good route. I feel like this should be in a separate genre from most Eroge/VN games, since it seems like the sex is just there. I didn't once feel the urge to masturbate, or play KS for that reason, I played because I was genuinely interested in the story.

Possible Spoilers for Emi's Route below, relevant to my thoughts.


To say the least, it was an interesting VN, probably the 2nd or 3rd I've ever played overall, 1st for emotional attachment. (I've only played around a dozen VN/Eroge games, but it was still good.)

I might play again and try to get Lily's route.

Words cannot express my delight at the completion of this game. It was absolutely wonderful; from the characters to the stories to the music I was enthralled. Sure it took quite a while to beat but all that time spent was, in my opinion, completely worth it.
First playthrough I did Emi and that was great. And then I did Rin and my brain hurt. Then Hanako followed up by Lilly and I'm pretty sure I have diabetes now. Then I finished on Shizune and let myself down...



You, madam, deserve a cookie. Several of them in fact.

This game made me sad and lonely. Now I need to go prey on slutty drunk chicks.
